The multiplex identifier (MID) in the SMB header is only
ever used by the client, in conjunction with PID, to match responses
from the server. As such, the endianess of the MID is not important.
However, When tracing packet sequences on the wire, protocol analyzers
such as wireshark display MID as little endian. It is much more informative
for the on-the-wire MID sequences to match debug information emitted by the
CIFS driver. Therefore, one should write and read MID in the SMB header
assuming it is always little endian.
Observed from wireshark during the protocol negotiation
and session setup:
Multiplex ID: 256
Multiplex ID: 256
Multiplex ID: 512
Multiplex ID: 512
Multiplex ID: 768
Multiplex ID: 768
After this patch on-the-wire MID values begin at 1 and increase monotonically.
Introduce get_next_mid64() for the internal consumers that use the full 64 bit
multiplex identifier.
Introduce the helpers get_mid() and compare_mid() to make the endian
translation clear.

I'm looking at some of this code in excrutiating detail because I'm having trouble
with a backport of CIFS from 3.9.7 on an embedded 2.6.31 powerpc. Its failing the RawNTLMSSP
authentication and is almost certainly an endian issue. x86 on the same code base works
quite well. Am I making a rash assumption that CIFS in 3.9 stable worked on big endian ?
